Frank and Al: FDR, Al Smith, and the Unlikely Alliance that Created the Modern Democratic Party

William G. McGowan Theater
Washington, DC

In his latest book, Frank and Al, editor and author Terry Golway tells the untold story of an unlikely political partnership—between a to-the-manor-born Protestant (Franklin D. Roosevelt) and a Lower East Side Catholic (Al Smith)—and how they transformed the Democratic Party and took it and American politics out of the 19th century and into the 20th century. A book signing follows the program.
